#170 Best Laid Plans
As the old saying goes, "We plan, God laughs"; no matter how carefully we try and prepare for the future, life tends to get in the way. Sometimes these obstacles are actually opportunities, and things work out for the better. Sometimes, these disappointments don’t have a happy ending. Either way, we have to muddle through.
This week’s prompts are all about plans — whether they work out, they don’t, or we never had one to begin with!
